Re; the lg bl40 ’new chocolate’, looks like lg beat apple to the iphone nano punch. If that camera is any good it’s going to be a nice piece of kit.

of black robots and hutt queens
i’m not convinced ziro was intended to be flamingly gay, but like jar jar and the twins and even jazz in transformers 1, i’m really not sure how they missed it. surely someone in the production had a chance to speak up and say ‘hey, guys, this is going to play out very differently than we intend. can we redub ziro’s lines and dial it down a bit?’
did i think ziro...

as seen on engadget, this combined with fujifilm’s $600 3D camera launching in september means that 3D is about to fucking explode.

blackest night is going to be fucking fantastic
i’m super stoked, mostly because unlike secret invasion, there is almost no chance of it being a huge fucking letdown. this will be more like final crisis, where it may not make a lot of sense, but it’s going to be awesome.
for those who have no idea what i’m talking about, let me sum up. geoff johns is writing a story where somehow all the important dead characters in the...

walgreens ftw
completely ridiculous. after lucking out finding soundwave at one walgreens, i decided to hit the other one i knew about over by lloyd center and see what was about. not a lot, as it turned out. just some of the new The Corps figures, which is actually a pretty good value. two gijoe knock-offs for $4, and they’ve got bio art by leinil ‘secret invasion’ yu.
as i recall...
i just bought a moon knight figure, from the 3 3/4” marvel universe line. i’ve been reading marvel comics my entire life and i have no idea who he is or what his deal is. i know he’s like batman dressed in white, but i don’t know if he’s white batman or daredevil with a cape. does he have powers? does he have gadgets? what’s his real name?
apparently...

movie soundwave
have some actual data on this later, for now he’s just tiny, and transforms into the robot mode he didn’t have in the movie. i don’t know if he’s based on concept art or if hasbro just winged it, i’ll check tfwiki later. best part? soundwave and reissue movie one bumbles were in the ‘preview’ wave that dropped a few weeks before the main onslaught of...
